Interfaculty Centre for Biomedical Ethics and Law KU Leuven

Responsible

The activities of the Centre for Bio-Medical Ethics and Law (part of the Faculty of medicine, but with an interdisciplinary structure), are - besides teaching and documentation - mainly directed towards research.The expertise of the Centre spans a wide variety of disciplines including ethics, law, philosophy and theology and close links are maintained with various medical and care disciplines. The staff is composed of senior academic ...

Human molecular genetics University of Antwerp

The main research interest lies in the field of sensory genetics. Although work is done for different forms of sensory diseases, the emphasis is on nonsyndromic sensorineural hearing impairment and otosclerosis. Large families are collected in Belgium and The Netherlands, as well as in countries with high consanguinity rate such as Iran. These pedigrees are analyzed by linkage analysis. Subsequently, the genes involved are identified by ...

VIB CMN - Genetics of Alzheimer’s Disease University of Antwerp

Responsible
The research unit is committed to increase insight in the complex genetics of Alzheimer's disease and to investigate the translational potential of genetic discovery. We use genetic-epidemiological methods and advanced genomic technologies to identify molecular mechanisms that can serve as future targets for early detection, prevention and treatment. Techniques include 2nd and 3rd generation DNA and RNA sequencing on various biomaterials, ...

Zoology Vrije Universiteit Brussel

The research activities in the Zoology research unit basically concern the study of genetical and phenotypical variation of Men. During the past decades, our research activities were mainly focused on problems of human growth and development. Studies of genetic influences on growth and maturation through the analysis of familial and twin data have thrown more light on the impact of heredity and environment on human development. Various ...
